Hiya Everybody,

Our AOS interview date is September 27th and it's in Sacramento. I just wondered how many others here on VJ had/or are having theres done in Sacramento and what it is like compared to other offices in other cities.

I've read on here a few months ago that depending on what office your AOS interview takes place at will depend on if you and your partner will get seperated for questioning. It's not a problem for us we just want to be prepared for what to expect from Sacramento.

Thanks in advance,

Fiona & Andrew

Love hurts

When you live an ocean away

When you change your sleep schedule to catch a few more moments

When you really need to be held and you have to imagine whilst your partner describes it

When you constantly refresh the USCIS website to see if you're getting any closer

Love Loves

When it repays you with the love of your life

When God finally answered your biggest prayer

When you can live life again in the real world but still have that eternal connection

When you wake up for to the beginning of the rest of your life with the person you fought so hard for

When you love somebody that much

You'll do anything

Hope others will answer, but in the meantime, you can read the reviews - go to "Reviews: Embassy/USCIS/POE" at the top of this page, in the "Select Local Office" box just put in "Sacremento" There's even a review for 27 Aug! I did the same thing with Fresno but most recent one is last October. :whistle:

Looks like it, I don't see any Sunnyvale office on the list for Biometrics:

https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.summary

Or interviews:

Maybe you will get transferred to CSC and get a quick approval without interview!

Darn! The full website address refuses to show up! Go to "Office Locater" on the left side of the page, scroll down and click on "Application Support Centers" and scroll down to the bottom and put in "California" to see the Biometrics centers. For interviews, after "Office Locater," scroll down and click on "Local Offices" then again choose "California" to see the nearest places they conduct interviews.

Thanks for your help folks. Found the stories of interviews in Sac and it has relieved some of my concerns.

Thanks Dano! Yes I organized most of the paperwork over Labor Day weekend. Now I'm working on the two notarized statements from friends who know us, hopefully that should be complete by mid-next week. Also waiting on a letter from our bank saying it's a joint account. And starting practicing interview questions. And finding a translator. :wacko: All else is good to go! :thumbs:
